CVE-2021-31893
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 and earlier (All versions), SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 (All versions < V9.0 SP3), SIMATIC PDM (All versions < V9.2), SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.X (All versions < V5.6 SP2 HF3), SINAMICS STARTER (containing STEP 7 OEM version) (All versions < V5.4 HF2). The affected software contains a buffer overflow vulnerability while handling certain files that could allow a local attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition or potentially lead to remote code execution.
CVSS
